Ling Xici had some scruples about the words on the box. After leaving the Raging Flame Pavilion, he pretended to have an appointment with Yue Shufeng, politely declined the empress dowager and others' persuasion, and left the imperial city directly.

The time he agreed with Yue Shufeng when he left Yuejia was seven days, which was the result of calculating the back and forth on the road, and reserved two days to stay in the palace.But now that he left the imperial city one day earlier, he returned to Langya Academy one day earlier than planned.

The light rain kept pattering down, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. Ling Xici walked in the rain with an umbrella, and planned to find a random inn to stay for the night.

When he came here before, he didn't plan to stay in the academy for a long time, so he didn't prepare any accommodation at all. When he came back from the handover of tasks, he always found a random inn to live in.

This time was no exception, Ling Xici used to go to Nancheng District, and this inn was recommended to him by Qin Yunting.It doesn't look very eye-catching on the outside, but it is extremely comfortable inside. The most important thing is that the environment is very clean, and there are special wines that are released according to the season.

Business is not very good on rainy days. The proprietress leisurely fiddled with the abacus by leaning on the pillars, without raising her eyelids, she said lazily, "A room?"

Ling Xici responded, closed the umbrella, took the key and walked upstairs, but stopped when he reached the first step, turned back to the counter and asked, "What wine is it now?"

Hearing the question about the wine, the proprietress slightly raised her head and glanced at him, her eyes flickered, and she opened her lips and said two words, "Bailu."

"Bring it up." Ling Xici put the money on the counter, turned around and went upstairs.

After entering the room, Ling Xici casually put the umbrella aside, and sent a message amulet to Yue Shufeng to inform him of his location.They only agreed on a time at the beginning, and did not specifically agree on where to meet.

After finishing this, the man has already delivered the wine.

Ling Xici poured out a glass and smelled it. The smell of alcohol was not strong, but more of a subtle chill, mixed with the faint smell of moisture in the air and the sound of rain outside the window.

The transparent liquid swirled along the rim of the glass, Ling Xici hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and took a small sip.

He had never drank alcohol in the past, and this time he was affected by the rain. He was already prepared to suffer, but he didn't expect the accident to be suitable.It is not as spicy as imagined, but slightly sweet, like the dew on the branches and leaves in the morning.

"No wonder it's called Bai Lu."

Ling Xici drank the rest of the wine in the glass in one gulp, put the glass aside casually, and took out the box he got in the Flaming Pavilion.

In the past few days, he has checked the box over and over several times, but apart from that line of small words, he has not found any clues.As for the note that said Qingjiange, Ling Xici had already shown it to the Queen Mother and others, and this time he came out under the pretext of discussing with Yue Shufeng about entering Qingjiange.The queen mother and others didn't say anything about it, they only told him to be careful.

In fact, Ling Xici is still a little confused about this series of events, and he doesn't know how it all happened.The main one is the confusion of the timeline.

The grievances between Qin and Xue's family are too long, let's not mention it for the time being, only talk about his life.When he first woke up, Ling Xici only thought that he was possessed by someone else.But what if he died when he crossed the catastrophe, and only woke up after sleeping for 15 years?

Ling Xici had followed Ling Yan as long as he could remember in his previous life. Cultivation and so on were all natural things. He never thought about why he should practice with him, nor did he think that life would be different.

And after he passed the Thunder Tribulation in the Nascent Soul stage, the other party suddenly disappeared.Ling Xici searched for it for a while but failed, so he gave up searching and continued to practice.At that time, he felt that the end of the avenue was Ascension, and when he cultivated to Ascension, he might be able to find him.

Then, he was struck to death by the thunder calamity of the transformation stage, and came here.

Thinking of this, Ling Xici took the piece of jade that had merged into one from his neck again.Ever since he knew that this thing was not passed down by Langya Palace, but was given by his master, Ling Xici's attitude towards this thing was a little different.

He thought of the system that sounded in his mind when he first came here, if it wasn't for Yue Shufeng who unexpectedly fell in love with him and took the initiative to approach him to show his favor.He is probably still under the guidance of the system, and Yue Shufeng is the opposite.In that case, maybe both sides will suffer.

If you're lucky, you might be able to survive, but I'm afraid it will also cause a lot of damage.

Ling Xici's heart tightened, and the knuckles of the fingers holding Yujue turned white.Even though he knew it shouldn't be, he couldn't help but wonder if that system had anything to do with Master.

He thought of the line engraved on the box, and was in a state of confusion for a moment.The master told him not to believe anyone, so should he believe and leave this sentence to his master?

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Startled by the sudden voice, Ling Xici frowned and looked at the door, "Who?"

The knock on the door stopped, and a familiar gentle voice sounded, "It's me."

Ling Xici's expression was a bit stunned, he took Yu Jue and the box and stood up to open the door, "Why did you come here so fast?"

"It was nearby, and I came here after receiving the summons." Yue Shufeng entered the room, his eyes immediately fell on the flagon and cups on the table facing the door, and turned to look at him, "Have you been drinking?"

"...Hmm." Ling Xici was inexplicably guilty by him, and he defended weakly, "I just tasted it, and only drank one cup!"

He closed the door and went to the table and poured a glass in front of the other party, trying to attract people into the group, "Would you like to try it, it's quite delicious, it doesn't smell like alcohol, and you won't get drunk."

Ling Xici was talking, when he saw the other party lower his head in response, he took a sip from his hand holding the cup, and when he retracted it, he rubbed his fingers intentionally or unintentionally.Ling Xici was so grateful for the sudden gentle touch that he almost dropped his glass, and quickly put it away.

Yue Shufeng's curved eyes showed a little smile, "It's very sweet."

Ling Xici: "..."

He intended to let Yue Shufeng also take a drink, so that it would be difficult to hold him accountable, but he didn't think that the other party had drunk, but why did he feel that he was being molested again?

"Okay." Yue Shufeng stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, "Forget it this time, it's not an exception. If I'm not here, you're not allowed to drink, not even by yourself."

Ling Xici retorted habitually, "I want you to take care of me."

Yue Shufeng held him in his arms, pinched his earlobe and asked softly, "Don't you like it?"

Ling Xici let out a snort, and buried himself in the pit of his shoulder and fell silent.In fact, he quite enjoyed the feeling of being cared and cared about, but how could he be able to say such words.

However, Yue Shufeng seemed determined to pry his mouth open this time, coaxing him to admit it by coaxing him to admit it.Ling Xici was pressed hard, and blurted out: "It seems that I haven't promised you yet."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Ling Xici felt a little regretful, Yue Shufeng paused in pinching his earlobe, and narrowed his eyes, instantly filled with emotions he couldn't understand.

The room was silent for a while, and Ling Xici also knew that he had said something wrong, but it was a bit embarrassing for him to apologize on this kind of issue.He bit his lower lip and wanted to push him away, but Yue Shufeng folded his arms to hug him tighter.

"So..." Yue Shufeng lifted his chin and pressed a kiss on the corner of his lips, "Kiss, kiss and hug, when are you going to give me a name."

"..."

Ling Xici was stunned by his shameless attitude, forgot to struggle for a while, and was held in his arms and kissed for a while before letting go.

The other party was still full of satisfaction, and continued to peck his lips, asking coaxingly in a low voice, "Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied with you big-headed ghost." Ling Xici's breath was unsteady, and he supported the other's shoulder to catch his breath before saying, "Can you show some face?"

Yue Shufeng put his arms around his waist with one hand, and tapped his lips with the other, calmly and righteously said: "In order to get the title His Highness gave me, this loss is nothing."

Seeing that he was about to kiss again as he spoke, Ling Xici's scalp felt numb in an instant, and he quickly stretched out his hand to stop him, "...that's enough."

Yue Shufeng still clung to the topic and did not let go, "What about the status?"

When the other party spoke, his lips rubbed against his palm, giving off a slight itch, which went all the way to the bottom of his heart along the meridians.Ling Xici withdrew his hand subconsciously, seeing the other party looking at him with smiling eyes, he instantly became angry from embarrassment, "Let's talk about it later!"

I don't know if it was Ling Xici's illusion, he seemed to see a strange expression on the other side for a moment, but that moment was fleeting.In the blink of an eye, Yue Shufeng's expression returned to normal, he raised his hand to pinch his earlobe, and said with a smile: "Okay."

He paused, and then said meaningfully: "You must never deny it."

Ling Xici's ears felt hot when he saw it, and he changed the topic and said, "Then shall we set off now?"

"Wait a little longer." Yue Shufeng let go of him, went to the window and opened it, and motioned him to look outside, "Looking at this posture, the rain probably won't stop until evening."

Ling Xici followed to the window and looked out. Compared with when he came, the rain was indeed much heavier. Although it was not enough to affect travel, it was inconvenient after all.

The rain curtain divides the space into separate squares, Yue Shufeng embraces him from behind, Ling Xici relaxes his body and leans against his arms, feeling a rare kind of peace from the heart, as if troubled things are all forgotten. Cleaned up in general.

I don't know how long it has passed, the rain has gradually diminished, but it still hasn't stopped.Ling Xici felt drowsy, and nodded his head.

Yue Shufeng softened his tone and said considerately: "Sleepy?"

"A little bit." Ling Xici rubbed his eyes, trying to cheer up, but the effect was not obvious.This kind of sleepiness is not physiological, but more like the result of sudden relaxation after too long psychological depression.

Yue Shufeng touched his forehead, frowning slightly, "It seems a little hot."

"That's your cold hands." Ling Xici said speechlessly.

"I'm not leaving today." Yue Shufeng freed his other hand to close the window, hugged him horizontally and strode into the inner room, with an uncompromising tone, "Go to sleep, we'll leave tomorrow."

When Ling Xici was put on the bed, he belatedly remembered something, they only had one room.He was vigilant for a moment, grabbed the quilt and said, "You, go down and open another room."

"It's too late for you to worry about this kind of thing now." Yue Shufeng raised his hand and knocked on his head, pulled the quilt over and covered him tightly, "Don't worry, at least before you become an adult , I won't do anything to you that I shouldn't do."

Ling Xici pulled up the quilt, only revealing a pair of eyes, and the voice came through the quilt a bit vaguely, "Who knows if you will suddenly become wild at night!"

"If I really want to be a beast, how can a wall stop me?" Yue Shufeng's eyes were full of doting, he stretched out a finger to poke his brow, and said softly: "Okay, hurry up." Go to sleep, I will watch over you."

Ling Xici was inexplicably warmed by his last sentence, shrank into the quilt, blinked and looked at the other party for a while, and suddenly couldn't look away.

so good.

His heart melted suddenly, he stretched out his hand to hold the other person, and said seriously: "Tell me about your business."

Yue Shufeng was silent for a moment, then smiled, "Are you a child? You only want to go to bed after listening to a bedtime story."

"..." Ling Xici became furious, threw away his hand and turned inside to face the wall, "Speak or not."

"I didn't say I won't tell you." Yue Shufeng pulled the quilt like a snowball and hugged him back together with the quilt, completely wrapped into a silkworm baby, and scratched his nose, "Okay baby ,What do you want to hear?"
